Residence Life & Education

Living in residence is all about making friends, trying new things, and feeling that you’re a part of a warm and caring community. And it’s why so many former students have such fond memories of the time they spent in residence.

We’re eager for you to have the chance to start making those kinds of memories, too. To help you feel at home right away, we’ve spelled out everything you need to know about living in residence in our Residence Guide and Residence Agreement. We want you to make the most of your time with us.

Colleges

Trent University’s colleges have been at the centre of the student experience for over 50 years. Colleges are more than residences, dining halls and classroom spaces.
